I plug15centrallythereof; KFigure'v 3 is a fragmentary view similarto' Formed in diametrically opposite points of 1m the plug 15 are aligning openings 18 which are adapted to register with .the bores 9 1n the nipple extensions '6 and 7 to effect communication between these nipple extensions 6 and 7, when the plug 15 is adjusted to one position, namely that shown in Figure 3 of the drawing so that full fiow of liquld will be had through the cock, as will be apparent. 7

At right angles to these Openings 18 in the plug 15 is a drain port 19, which is adapted to align with the bore 9 while one of the openings 18 aligns with the bore 10 in the drain nipple extension 8 when the plug 15 has been h shifted to another position, namely that shown in Figure 2 of the drawing so that liquid will pass from the bore in the nipple extension 7 into the bore 10 in the drain nipple extension 8 for the draining of the liquid throughthe nipple r spout 12 as will beobvious. I 7

7 Now when the plug 15 has been shiftedto another adjusted position, namely that shown in Figure 4: of the drawing the fluid will be interrupted or shutoff from the bore 9 in the nipple'extension 7 to the bore 9 in the nipple extension 6, either for full flow of the liquid or the draining thereof through the cock as will be apparent.

The plug 15 in the lower open end there of is internally threaded at 20 and in'this threaded open end of said plug is adjustably engaged the screw end portion 21 of a retaining stem 22 having formed thereon a turning flange 23 supporting a washer 24 seated upon the bottom end of'the housing or shell 5.

The stem is locked in set position through the medium of an internally threaded packing gland collar or cap 25 which is adjustably V draw the valve or plug 15 into the bore 18 threaded onto thelower end of the housing or shell This collaror cap25 has formed exteriorly thereon opposed finger knobs or lugs 26, which permit'the screwing. of the collar or cap on or from the externally threaded reduced lower end 27 of the housing or shell 5. Surrounding the reduced lower end 27* of the shell and opposing the top edge of the cap 25'isa washer 29. r V

' The stem22at' its outer end carries across handle or rip 28, whereby the stem-22 can be turned. On the'adjustment of the stem by the turning thereof inone direction it will in the housing or shell 5 to wedge the same therein and thus hold it in adjustedposition.

When the stem v22-is reversely turned it permits the loosening of the valve or plug in the bore 13 in thehousing or shell 5 The stem 22 coacting with the threads pro- .vides for retaining the valveror plug 15 in p the desired'position. Ad justment of the valvev or plug 15,-for drainageor for opening or: closing supply of liquid can only be had" when it is loose; V a

By the assemblage of the stem 22 in the use of the collar or cap 25, the valve in the housing or shell 5 of the cock will be rendered leakproof, as the cap or collar can be screwed tightly onto the housing or shell 5, so that the flange 23 on the stem 22 will act upon the washer 24 which is seated against the body or shell to compress the washer and close the oint between the stem and the housing or shell 5 of the cock. 7 7

It is thought that. the construction and manner of operation of the cock hereinbefore described will be clearly understood and therefore a moreextended explanation has been omitted. It is of course to be understood that such changes, variations and modifications may be made in the cock as come properly within the scope'of the appended claims, without departing from the spirit of the invention or sacrificing any of its advantages.

What is claimed is Y Y 1. In a cock for the purpose set forth a housing providing a valve chamber open at for the upper end of said valve, saidfvalve formed with a pair of diametrically opposed openings for establishing communication between the interior of the valve and said'nips ple extensions when the valve i's'in one"po sition, said valve furtherhaving an opening selectively registering with the nipple exten sions for. establishing communication between a nipple extension and said drainextension when the valve is in another posi-' tion, flanged means extending. into said housing and threadedly engaging with'the inte rior of said valve for loosening or tighten:

I ing the latter with respect to the wall of said chamber, and'meains for rendering said flanged means leak-proof at the lower end of the housing.

'2. In a cock forthe purpose set forth a housingproviding avalve chamber open at each end, the wallof saidcchamber having an inwardly tapered upperjportion and a straight lower portion of uniform diameter, 5

a pair of oppositely disposed,'lengthwise posite sides of said housing and communieating wlth the tapered. portion of: said chamber, adrain'exte nsion integral withthe outer face of said housing,disposed at right aligning nippleextensionsintegral with opangles to said extensions and opening in the tapered portion, a hollow valve mounted in and corresponding in shape to said chamber, said valve projecting above the upper end of the chamber, a winged head for the outer end of said valve, said valve formed with a pair of diametrically opposed openings for establishing communication between the interior of the valve and said nipple extensions when the valve is in one position, said valve further having an opening selectively registering with the nipple extensions for establishing communication between a nipple extension and said drain extension when the valve is in another position, flanged means extending into said housing and threadedly engaging with the interior of said valve for loosening or tightening the latter withrespect to the wall of said chamber, and means surrounding said flanged means and threadedly engaging with the lower end of the housing for locking said flanged means in set position.

In testimony whereof, I aifix my signature hereto.
